Instructions

Preheat oven to 400˚F.

Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels.

In a shallow plate combine the flour, oregano, salt, and pepper; mix to combine.

Coat each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, then transfer to the baking dish in one single layer. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, parsley, sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, and hot sauce.

Pour over the chicken thighs and coat them evenly with the honey garlic sauce. Flip them over to coat on both sides.
